iPhone bliss
After spending every moment with the iPhone since it came out, I have come to realize how dependent I have become. This post is being composed on my original iPhone. It's the simplicity, and the moment when spell check works right, and finally having cut and paste and all 75000 apps and iTunes and even the inconsistent AT&T network.For the first time I have the Internet in my pocket (in a mostly accessible way). All these pieces were required in order to completely dominate the smart phone market, but I am mostly concerned with how I interact with it. The rounded corners feel like it was pulled from an OsX desktop. It's just small enough and large enough. The icons wiggle when you want to move them around, I find myself putting the icons in wiggle mode even when I'm not moving them. The panels slide with ease and email scrolls like quicksilver. The keyboard while not safe for driving;) it is an elegant solution to the input paradigm problem. Besides it's Swiss army like usefulness Steve Jobs set the bar for useful and beautiful interface.

first post!
Welcome to my new blog on human computer interaction and interface. My goal is to study art and science from around the globe to assist in the understanding of what user interface is all about, and how to incorporate 3D aspects to enhance usability.
